Grrr
This photo is like a visualization of my feelings this month. Vascilating between Grrr and Meh in equal measure. Work stresses, exhaustion and just some ennui have meant that for this month and most of the previous twelve or so (not sure how many but assume a lot) I’ve been generally ranty or miserable company.…

Spring
Do they yearn to grow somewhere new each year? Do they hibernate under the surface dreaming of a new view? Are they disappointed when they emerge? Am I just projecting my unease on them? They came up in the same place as last year, just like me, not a lot has changed since they went…

Reactions
I have been thinking about how people react to situations lately. Questioning why they decide to take a certain point of view or make a specific choice. Humans seem to inevitably assume we are correct in our position and decisions. We are also a naturally stubborn species. Yes, of course there are those who manage…
